Description
Summary:Among all two-dimensional geometrical objects, a circle is one of some important <br /> <br /> <br /> things considered by geometers. There is an interesting theorem related to it, <br /> <br /> <br /> which we called isoperimetric inequality. This theorem says that the area of the <br /> <br /> <br /> domain enclosed by a simple closed curve will be maximum if the curve is a <br /> <br /> <br /> circle. meanwhile, a curve of constant width is good for study, since it has a unique <br /> <br /> <br /> property that is the same as circle’s. Reuleaux triangle is a famous example of such <br /> <br /> <br /> class of curves. <br /> <br /> <br /> The aim of this thesis is to prove isoperimetric inequality using Fourier series, <br /> <br /> <br /> studying properties of curves of constant width using a special function called <br /> <br /> <br /> support function, and comparing Reuleaux triangle and its variance with a curve <br /> <br /> <br /> related to them by using support function.
